Might as well get this one started now since there's only a couple weeks left.
My tea leaves tell me my guesses for the Platinum Division are...
Gorging (Even Vegas wouldn't bet against these guys)
Koi Dragonauts(A very safe second bet)
Links Team Success (won the Taiwanese Festival hands down...)
Pacfic Reach (I'm gonna guess they're not gonna like an re-enactment of Victoria with Echo)
Pac Reach Echo
Specialty Subaru
Absolute Pogue (better known as Absolute Adrenaline from the Island races)
Roli.com
Fresh off the Dragon Boat
ScotiaBank Dragons
Capital Iron Dragons (strong team.. as long as they stay away from the beer garden)
Acme
Alpha Dragons (I can't remember which Alpha team is which...)
Hampton Woods

Not Bad guesses! Though I think the beer tent may be the downfall of a few teams on that list! The only way Gorging will lose is if we spike their beers! They paddle hard and drink harder! Don't forget the beer holders for the boats! Bring it on!  |

Capital Iron isn't going... for some reason I was thinking they were... Guess my coffee was wearing off when I posted that prediction... Since they aren't going... I'll throw in the CC Dragons as the other team to reach the Platinum... |

Yeah Absolut Mayhem is a good name for them! It is a mixed bag of paddlers from the original Absolut team with a few Vancouverites and paddlers from other Victoria teams. If they can't beat you in the race they'll kick your butt in the beer garden! |

Pacific Reach to me is one of those teams where they are building, building, getting faster, and faster, till one day they'll be stuck at the top. I think we may see the day where it's always PR and Gorging fighting it out for the top spot.

Acme is so focused on the women's team...the mixed team will fail....along with Roli's!!!!!!! Says Whom?!?!?!?! Acme aren't trying to win The Canadian National Title here!! Kelowna is a fun festival. So what, if they are working a bit harder on the womens crew then the mixed.. Trying making a crew up out of 5 different crews, whom are at different levels of competing. What about Roli? Guido, The only way any team/paddler is going to "fail" at a regatta/festival is : ~ is if you don't give your 110% when racing (if your able to talk/scream seconds in/after a race you barely paddled. You shouldn't be able to talk at least a minute after the race .. You should be trying to catching your breath .. until you reached the dock again) ~ not thinking possitive about the/any race (ie. you made your mind up on where your gonna place in the race.. died last) ~ Not showing up to 95% of your crews practices![/b] |

Why do you say we're so focused on our women's crew? - we only had 2 practices together, and we've got a couple of girls coming out from Absolut Adrenaline in Victoria that have a completely different stroke than us. I think it takes a lot more than 2 practicesd for a team to "gel", but we do have a very strong group of ladies.
